fo remember STUDENTS HURRIED to eat dinner after the parade, so they could be on time to the eight o’clock game against the undefeated Salem Spartans. The Eagles held the Spar- tans during the first quarter, but after that Salem dominated the game. At half time the score stood F.C. zero and Salem 27. Since the game was so one-sided, half time dominated the night. In a unique court presentation, Homecoming Court members took the field in their formal evening gowns as the Flag Corps tossed flags in their honor. The senior court came on the field last followed by Tammy Dillon, last year’s Homecoming Queen. Mr. Steve Angle an- nounced the new queen, Michelle Turner, as the crowd cheered its approval. Tammy placed the crown on Michelle’s head as Mr. Angle presented Felix Patterson, © Mr. Football. After half time, the crowd thinned out as low-spirited fans left the once crowded Cy Dillon Stadium, leaving their team to battle on. Though the Eagles tried, they could not gain ground or stop the Salem offense. The game ended in a depressing 41-0 Salem victory. Homecoming week ended with Saturday night’s dance. Odyssey provided music to end what had been an exciting week . Choice Seats. Because the Homecoming game saw the largest crowd ever with close to 8,000 spectators, these kids have to find seats on the lowest level — the ground. Making A Statement. SADD members use the parade to make a point with the community. The organization did its best to make people aware of the hazards of driving drunk. Homecoming 15

Fit For A King. Soaking up the sun at King’s Dominion, Seniors Kim Whitebread and Tina Laprade spend their vaca- tions together. Not only did they travel to Richmond, Virginia together, later in the summer they traveled to Myrtle Beach. Smith Mountain Memories. Some students only had to look in their own back yards for something to do. Kevin Wray and Cathy Hodges spent much of their summer together at Franklin County’s hot spot, Smith Mountain Lake. Myrtle Beach Days. Like many students, Diana Grigorieff headed to Myrtle Beach during the summer months. Myrtle Beach was famous for its shore during the day, and ‘‘the strip,” Ocean Boulevard, during the night. 16 Summer Life
